The '95 Grotti Cheetah is one of the vehicles Rockstar Games confirmed as part of the Grand Theft Auto VI Ultimate Edition, announced alongside pre-orders opening on June 25, 2026. Rockstar describes it as the brand's signature mid-1990s sports car, finished with a minimalist, retro-futuristic livery that plays on the era it represents, according to Video Games Chronicle's report on the reveal.
The Cheetah nameplate is one of the long-running Grotti sports car lines in the Grand Theft Auto series, and this version is presented as an in-game collectible tied to the Ultimate Edition's bonus content rather than a vehicle available to all players from launch, a point TheSixthAxis also notes in its rundown of the announcement.
Early screenshots of the model circulated alongside the announcement, and Driven Car Guide's coverage specifically called out its resemblance to a well-known 1980s–90s Italian supercar shape, reinforcing that this particular Cheetah is meant to represent an older, more angular design language than the wedge-shaped Cheetahs seen in some previous Grand Theft Auto games.
The real car behind it
Grotti has always been Rockstar's in-fiction stand-in for Ferrari, and this Cheetah's low, wide stance and flat, slatted rear end read as a clear homage to the Ferrari Testarossa, one of the most recognizable Ferraris of the pop-up-headlight era. The Testarossa's side strakes and wedge profile were themselves a design landmark of 1980s and early-90s supercars, and the Cheetah's "minimalist, retro-futuristic" livery, as Rockstar puts it, leans into that same period aesthetic rather than a modern supercar look.
How to get it
Rockstar has confirmed the '95 Grotti Cheetah as an Ultimate Edition pre-order bonus specifically, meaning it is not included with the base or standard pre-order tiers. Rockstar has not yet published final pricing for the Ultimate Edition or an exact pre-order storefront date, so anything beyond "it comes with the Ultimate Edition" should be treated as unconfirmed until Rockstar posts official pricing.
